AAAAAAA THIS IS SO CUTE OHMYGOD AUWKHSOXMEHDKXIMSHWOXMH THIS AMAZING BRILLIANT AAAAAAAAA!?€??2? sure enough, 4.8 star rated novels are a whole different breed like what actual DAMN??

the synopsis is a bit misleading, its very badass actually. very action-full and supernatural packed!!! i think the uni life part gets mentioned only a few times LOL

just to be clear, MC may seem like your typical naive s*upid MC in the first chapter and from the synopsis, and i thought that too, which was why i was reluctant to read this BUT REST ASSURE HE’S NOT HES ACTUALLY SUPER STRONG AND I LOVE HIS CHARACTER SO MUCH!??? the world building is amazing, and the integration of cultivation, traditional, and mythical things blends in so well with the setting of the modern world. the author has a subtle emphasis of the passage of time, like how slowly throughout the millennium, the great yaoguais who used to rule the world gradually disappeared as the human civilizations thrived. as we read on, we get to know the history behind this world and also uncover the backstory of our MC(and ML hehe); as well as see how the MC - an ancient yao who had woken up 2 thousand years later to a modern world - slowly becoming acquainted with daily human life. they work at a yao bureau thingy that takes care of yao in the modern era and keeping them a secret from humanity(?) they also take care of the threats like evil yao and demons. IDK KINDA LIKE A YAOGUAI POLICE/GOVERNMENT?

the romance is so wholesome omgomgomg I LOBE THEM SO MUCH HUUU!!!! I LOGE THEIR INTERACTIONS?? since MC is like 4000+ years and ML is just 2000+, MC likes to treat ML as a kid and ML gets you’re-too-young/minor zoned a lot its so funny,,, their romance progressed pretty slowly in the beginning, they were just friends, but when the confession happened it progressed really fast, no unnecessary “hm i’ll have to think about it” or something, just BOOm!! quick, simple, no misunderstandings.

MC is so helpful, he likes to support yaoguais in trouble and also remove anything that could be a threat to the current yao community. he’s an ancient yao so his cultivation is very strong. he’s kinda like an ‘old’ elder, also super gentle, humble and a cutie,!! hes no pushover though, his fighting skills are superb! ML IS MY FAVORITE!! hes so cute like HAHAHA? hes a dragon, so he’s very powerful and rich, but also a bit stingy. he works very hard. he also has a bit of tsundere-ness LOL doting behind the scenes,, i love them hehe. the side characters are all very 3-D and has personalities too, i especially like kunpeng and MC’s elders they bicker a lot its so cute.

overall, heck yeah this novel deserved it’s 4.8 rating, not to mention the amazing translations and super fast uploads as well. brilliant read :)!

5/5! defo! <<less

I really like this list!!! Currently planning to read on the reviewer's favorites here hehehhehe. Thank you for this! Since I like this so much, allow this fellow reader to suggest something that u might be interested in. It's titled "Reborn into a slash game", the title is meh but its quite good *nods*. From the author of Kaleidoscope of Death.

I really really want to read card room but the novel isn't fully translated and I don't think I can handle being left on a cliffhanger while waiting for updates

Thanks for your list, it's great. I am now reading Dont Pick Up Boyfriends from tr*sh Bin. I usually don't really like QT, but this one is so good Maybe I can recommend you Seizing Dreams and Dinghai Fusheng Records. Both are amazing

  i have heard about this novel! however, i’m not really into overbearing/overly possessive MLs, and i see a lot of people talking about this in the reviews i might give it a try if i can convince myself x_x
